Drarry - A Love Triangle.

Chapter 25 - The First Public Encounter

Chapter 25 - The First Public Encounter

Harry left the Gryffindor corridor fuming. How dare Dean talk to him like that? In all fairness he had hoped that before their son was born that it had been Dean's, but now he had grown attached to the small boy and he didn't want Dean to interfere with that.

Harry had never been the fatherly type - or so he thought - because he hadn't known a figure in his life like that and he felt compelled to try and help this little boy in the best way possible. He wanted to be like Arthur Weasley had been to the Weasley children, but he just didn't want to be with Ginny romantically. There had been a time where he would have given anything to have been with her for an infinity, but that time had passed and he'd moved on. His attraction now lay elsewhere with a certain blonde slytherin.

A small smile played on his lips as he made his way towards the quad, remembering their shared kiss. Butterflies still appeared in his stomach as he thought about the blonde boy. He had never thought in a million years that it would be the Pureblood slytherin who would have captured his affection. He still wasn't quite sure why because Draco Malfoy wasn't the most the most approachable person in the world and their personalities clashed at times, but the thought of him never ceased to put a smile on his face.

He almost ran into a small first year who was entering the quad, but at the last second a pair of strong hands gripped his shoulders and pulled him away. The first year carried on walking and Harry spun around to face the person standing behind him.

Malfoy.

He smiled slightly as the confident blonde gave him a lopsided grin. "Clumsy," Draco mumbled fondly as Harry blushed lightly.

"My mind was preoccupied," Harry said quietly, smirking.

Draco's eyebrows rose on his forehead and a genuine smile flashed across his face - his eyes alight with a playful glint. "What was on your mind?" he asked, stepping closer to Harry so that their breaths were mingling together. Harry shivered as a spark fluttered down his spine and tried his hardest not to blush at their close proximity.

"Nothing much," Harry mumbled pathetically - he was hypnotised by the grey orbs that were staring into his own eyes.

"Why do I find myself not believing that?" Malfoy whispered, his hand flinching up to the Chosen One's cheek as he cupped it delicately.

Fireworks were erupting inside of Harry as his eyes widened in surprise. He had never pictured Malfoy as being tender and caring. That was the last thought that would have come to mind. "You weren't thinking about my hotness by any chance?" Malfoy said, winking playfully.

"You caught me," Harry said huskily, his voice breaking slightly at the end of his words. Malfoy raised an eyebrow and let out a hearty laugh.

"My my Potter, I never thought you'd be able to flirt," Malfoy whispered, edging closer.

"There's a lot you don't know about me," Harry replied, still unable to tear his gaze from Malfoy's.

"We can't have you having too much sass, that's my job. I wear the pants in this relationship," Malfoy muttered and instantly Harry's eyes widened.

"R ... relationship?" Harry stuttered, unable to comprehend what Malfoy had just said.

Malfoy blushed, but didn't look away. "Yeah, I thought now you and Ginny were through ... maybe you and I could ... you know ..." he trailed off unable to find the words he needed.

A grin spread across Harry's face. "Are you asking me out, Draco?" he said with a smirk.

Malfoy shuffled uneasily on his feet. "I ... guess?"

Harry sighed, smacking a hand on his forehead. "I would but technically me and Ginny are still together ..."

Malfoy's face dropped and his expression hardened. "What?" he spat. "I just asked you out and you tell me you still have a girfriend?!" Malfoy roared, his cheeks turned red with anger and humiliation.

"Malfoy ... it's complicated!"

"No it's f$cking not! You tell her you want to end it! SIMPLE!"

"We have a child, Malfoy! She's just given birth! What kind of father would I be to the kid to instantly drop his mother?!"

"So you still love her?" Malfoy's voice asked, his voice breaking slightly as tears sprung to the corners of his eyes. He hadn't realised how much he cared about him until Harry's affections were with someone else. Why was life never fair?

Harry sighed in exasperation. "Of course I love her ..."

"Why would you rub that in my face?!" Malfoy screamed. "Can't you see that I care for you? HELL I LOVE YOU!"

Harry was rendered speechless as he stared at Malfoy open mouthed. Had Draco really let the "l" word slip from his mouth. Surely it would be alright to say it back then? "You didn't let me finish," Harry whispered, gazing intently at Malfoy.

"I don't want to hear you tell me that you love her," Draco sighed, looking hurt.

"I love her because she was my first love and she and I just clicked, but you I love you so much more in a different way. It's weird but special at the same time," Harry rambled.

"That was the cheesiest, but best thing I've ever heard," Malfoy whispered, crashing his lips onto Harry's.

Harry smiled into the kiss as Malfoy ran his hands up his back to clench his shoulders. He loved the feel of Malfoy's body pressed against his as the rapid beating of his heat that seemed to flutter inside his ribcage. The kiss deepened and Malfoy begged Harry for enterance to his mouth by flicking his tongue playfully against Harry's lower lip. Harry immediately opened his mouth and Malfoy's tongue instantly found its way inside. Their tongues swirled together, both battling for dominance. Malfoy won of course and he groaned huskily. The groan sent shivers down Harry's spine and he tugged gently on Malfoy's hair.

"WHAT THE?"

Instantly Harry and Malfoy broke apart to be greeted by a cluster of their fellow students. Ron and Hermione were stood to one side, their mouths hanging open. Dean and Seamus had the same shocked expression on theirs. Blaise looked just as surprised, but Pansy looked furious. Her fists were clenched by her sides and her teeth were gritted together. But the person that neither Harry nor Malfoy had wanted to see was Ginny. She was stood across the quad, her jaw open and tears in her eyes. In her arms she clutched the baby, who was fast asleep unaware of all the trouble his father was in.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Ginny shrieked, her eyes streaming with tears. "I HATE YOU!"
